Best Buy is offering Acer’s touchscreen Chromebook Plus Spin 312 laptop down at $299 shipped right now. This is a brand-new notebook that hit the scene a couple of months back in October 2024 just before the holiday shopping season kicked in. It fell to $299 last month on Amazon where it’s sold out right now, and today’s $150 discount at Best Buy marks the return of that price. This is one of the most affordable Chromebook Plus notebooks out there right now and you can learn more about it below.

The new Spin 312 stands as the affordable entry in Acer’s new Chromebook Plus lineup. It sports a 12.2-inch 16:10 touchscreen panel with Gorilla Glass protection and has a thin and light chassis like other Chromebook Plus notebooks in Acer’s 2024 lineup. This machine is powered by Intel’s Core i3-N305 processor which is paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The Spin 312 has a 2-in-1 form factor, meaning you can flip it into tablet mode anytime you want.
